A novel mobiles android application for facilitating wheelchair users access to public buildings in urban environments.

Scientific reports
In recent years, societies and governments worldwide have increasingly focused on addressing the rights and needs of individuals with various disabilities. Concurrently, smartphone applications (apps) have gained widespread popularity across diverse ...

A deep dive into artificial intelligence with enhanced optimization-based security breach detection in internet of health things enabled smart city environment.

Scientific reports
Internet of Health Things (IoHT) plays a vital role in everyday routine by giving electronic healthcare services and the ability to improve patient care quality. IoHT applications and devices become widely susceptible to cyber-attacks as the tools ar...

Moving beyond the noise: geospatial modelling of urban sound environments in a sub-Saharan African city.

Scientific reports
Cities encompass a mixture of artificial, human, animal, and nature-based sounds, which through long and short-term exposures, can impact on physical and mental health. Yet, most epidemiological research has focused on only transportation noise, leav...

Monitoring temporal changes in large urban street trees using remote sensing and deep learning.

PloS one
In the rapidly changing dynamics of urbanization, urban forests offer numerous benefits to city dwellers. However, the information available on these resources is often outdated or non-existent, leading in part to inequitable access to these benefits...

Extreme urban temperature exposure and preterm birth: Spatial-temporal risk zone prediction using machine learning models.

Environmental research
This study investigates temperature impacts on preterm birth (PTB) using residential address GPS coordinates for 311,972 pregnant women in Wuhan, China, coupled with daily environmental data. We developed a machine learning model to analyze the impac...

Forecasting monthly residential natural gas demand in two cities of Turkey using just-in-time-learning modeling.

PloS one
Natural gas (NG) is relatively a clean source of energy, particularly compared to fossil fuels, and worldwide consumption of NG has been increasing almost linearly in the last two decades. A similar trend can also be seen in Turkey, while another sim...

Validation of simulated training sets using a convolutional neural network for isotope identification in urban environments.

PloS one
Real-time isotope identification in urban environments can aid law enforcement by providing additional information about the nature of a potential threat. Neural networks have shown promise in isotope identification but the large range of potential i...

Unsupervised deep clustering of high-resolution satellite imagery reveals phenotypes of urban development in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Science of the total environment
Sub-Saharan Africa and other developing regions have urbanized extensively, leading to complex urban features with varying presence and types of roads, buildings and vegetation. We use a novel hierarchical deep learning framework and high-resolution ...

Deep reinforcement learning control as an innovative approach for urban drainage systems: review and prospects.

Water research
Urban drainage systems (UDSs) are vital for managing stormwater and wastewater but face growing challenges due to urbanization, climate change and aging infrastructure. Real-time control (RTC) enhances UDSs' performance and circumvents the need for s...

The urban physical environment and leisure-time physical activity in early midlife: a FinnTwin12 study.

Health & place
Under the exposome framework, this study examined the relationship between the urban physical environment and leisure-time physical activity during early midlife based on 394 participants (mean age: 37, range 34-40) from the FinnTwin12 cohort, residi...
